- Revisiting phosphorus analogues of phthalimides and naphthalimides: Syntheses and comparative studies
-
A series of phosphorus analogues of aromaticfused monoimides (phthalimides and naphthalimides) bearing a mesityl group on the P center have been synthesized. In a comparison of their photophysical, electrochemical, and thermal properties with those of the corresponding imides, the impact of P incorporation was revealed. Furthermore, theoretical studies using DFT methods were conducted to understand their properties.

- Assembly Pattern of Supramolecular Hydrogel Induced by Lower Critical Solution Temperature Behavior of Low-Molecular-Weight Gelator
-
Although the gelation process and lower critical solution temperature (LCST) behavior are well acknowledged in polymer systems, low-molecular-weight gelators (LMWGs) rarely display LCST behavior during supramolecular gelation. Herein, we report an LMWG system with LCST-type thermoresponsiveness and an LCST-triggered supramolecular gelation process. Temperature plays a crucial role in this system, not only affecting the LCST phase separation but also triggering the gelation process. The backbones (three-dimensional structures) of the resulting hydrogel are the hierarchical assemblies of the LMWG undergoing the LCST phase separation. Hence, the gelation of the LMWG is only realized when the gelation temperature is above the critical transition temperature (Tcloud) of the LCST behavior, which is different from many supramolecular or polymeric hydrogel systems.

- Grignard Reactions on Ortho Dicarboxylic Arene Derivatives. Synthesis of 1,3-Dithienylisothianaphthene Compounds
-
1,3-Dithienylisothianaphthene (10a) is obtained through ring closure of 1,2-dithienoylbenzene (7a). The synthesis of 7a has been accomplished based on a Grignard reaction by adding 2-thiophene-magnesium bromide to 1,2-di(S-(2-pyridinyl)) benzenedithioate (6b) to obtain 7a in a yield of 95%. The use of 6b avoids the formation of the corresponding 3,3-dithienyl-3H-isobenzofuran-1(3H)-one (dithienylphthalide, 8). The same procedure is applied to obtain 1,3-dithienyl-4,5,6,7-tetradeuterioisothianaphthene (10b) and 1,3-dithienyl-4,5,6,7-tetrafluoroisothianaphthene (10c). The synthesis of the 2,3-dithienoylpyridine (12a), 3,4-dithienoylpyridine (12b), and 2,3-dithienoylpyrazine (12c) however fails. The presence of nitrogen in the central ring system influences the result of the Grignard reaction. Possibly the free electron pair of the nitrogen interferes with the formation of a stable six-membered ring intermediate which is essential for the diketone formation.
